that is already the law. that does not help millions of people out there with pre- existing conditions. there is a reason why governor mitt romney said of the plan he did in the massachusetts. it was the largest expansion of private insurance. what it does say is insurers -- you have to take everybody. that also means -- when gov. romney says he will replace it with something but cannot detail how it will be replaced -- and the reason he said of the system he did in massachusetts is because there is not a better way of dealing with pre- existing conditions. it just reminds me -- he says he will close deductions and loopholes for his tax plan. we do not know the details. he says that he is going to replace dodd-frank, wall street reform, but we do not know exactly which ones. he will not tell us. he now says he will replace obamacare and insurer as all the good things and it will be in there and you do not have to worry. at some point the american people have to ask themselves, is the reason gov. romney is kee

the chamber, but the beauty and the virtue and vice of joe biden is he does not use a teleprompter law. he is fresh and real, but these days when you have all-intrusive media coverage, he occasionally says something wrong. he has handled some of these gaffes reasonably well. in 2008, he made that comment about barack obama, trying to compliment him but it was tinge with racist overtones, called him a clean and articulate african-american or something like that, but nobody would suggest to joe biden harbors any ill will toward any particular group, and his record is just the opposite. he also weathered some storms over borrowing a speech from the labor leader in england and plagiarizing, not attributing credit. in all cases, he seemed to brush it off and come back and be scranton joe, the guy we all know. ditto with his handling of sarah palin in 2008. it was a tough order. he had to portray her as someone who was not ready for prime time, but he did not want to be too hard, or he would appear to be bullying someone who was a lot younger. the clip you showed your viewers was wonderful w

"you are not a citizen, but you still might help the election." are you talking about non- citizens casting votes? guest: election fraud is a non- issue. this is not something that is relevant. all of the stat's going after election fraud in many ways, they're doing that to suppress the vote of certain people they do not one voting. one big irony is florida, going through a statewide persia, -- purge, they're benefiting from having non-citizens in their state. it's ironic that they are benefiting from them when they're trying to encourage -- remove the
